Podtacular 206: Halo Wars Campaign Round-up

Posted on October 12, 2009 by Dust Storm

Shownotes
With the drop of ODST, we quickly wrapped up some unfinished business with Halo Wars and did a quick guide for the last 8 levels of Halo Wars. I think GLewis and I decided on “Tank-and-Spank” as our strategy, while AceofSpadesCard shook his head in disbelief and Lance continued to complain about the play value of Halo Wars as an RTS. We covered the levels in order of course since we didn’t have many submissions at all: Ander’s Signal, The Flood, Shield World, Cleansing, Repairs, Beachhead, Reactor and Escape. So Halo Wars campaign is done for now. We may visit the multiplayer someday (if we ever stop imagining and drooling over Reach). Enjoy.

Pod TV is back with more ODST Achievements for your enjoyment. Three more achievements for 15G come your way from Tayari Plaza as Buck: Eww Sticky, My Clothes, and Headcase. Now you don’t have to get these achievements on this level in particular, but it’s the one I chose to get it on.

ODST Achievement Guide: Mombasa

Pod TV has been absent for a while, so why not take the time to do some ODST Achievements while I’m waiting for my gold cards to arrive. Everyone probably has these already, but in case you haven’t, I’ve whipped up a nice little guide to the first 5 achievements: Heal Up, Dark Times, Boom Headshot, Tourist, and Junior Detective. You can get them all within the first 5 minutes of playing and are really easy to get.

Podtacular 205: Post-ODST Hype

Posted on October 7, 2009 by Dust Storm

Shownotes
ODST is here and we are all excited what Bungie brought us in their latest. Campaign is a blast, and Firefight just makes it that much better. This was big for us, which explains why we have 4 guests hosts for this week: Amplified Silence, ChuckieJ, Captain Planet, and a new guest slayerstuv. We discuss the back story, the campaign and a little bit of Firefight, but we are still saving some for later. CAUTION: There are some spoilers in here if you have not played through the whole campaign. You have been warned. Enjoy.

Podtacular 204: Pre-ODST Hype

Posted on September 20, 2009 by Dust Storm

Shownotes
ODST is just around the corner and we are hyping it up here at Podtacular. We had the chance to catch up on all the random frags in our inbox, and proceeded to talk about everything we are expecting from ODST. Our guest, Amplified Silence, happened to be at MLG Dallas and got to play Firefight as well. We also had a Podtacular first where we let guests come on the show and express their opinions on ODST. We had a nice turnout on the livestream feed and we expect even more people next week. Hope everyone is getting a copy. Enjoy

First, watch a video that Bungie made for the Halo 3 launch that describes the story up to that point. (Part 1, Part 2) Next up, a funny look at the history of the Halo universe leading up to the ODST story and including Halo 3.
